ALAN GRAYSON: Here's How I Plan To Make The Benghazi Investigation A 'Nightmare' For Republicans
AP yahoo business insider ^ | 5/20/2014 | Brett LoGiurato

Rep. Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Florida, has a plan to become Republicans' "worst nightmare" if he is indeed appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the select committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. (clip)

Grayson said he would use the Benghazi hearings as an opportunity to draw attention to other issues important to "ordinary Americans" that have not received as much attention.

Following DeLauro's proposal, liberal groups hatched another idea: send Grayson. A petition on the CREDO group's website has already garnered more than 65,000 signatures.

Grayson said it's up to Pelosi to determine how she wants to approach the number of people she sends to participate. He said he's "ready, willing, and more than able" to be on the committee and, if he's chosen he would be Republicans' "worst and last nightmare."

Grayson also offered Business Insider a preview of what that "nightmare" would look like. During the proceedings, Grayson said he would attempt to draw attention to other issues for which he thought voters would also like select committees to be formed.

"I'll be asking why there's no select committee on income inequality. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on immigration reform. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on the minimum wage. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on anything that has anything to do with the lives of ordinary Americans," Grayson said.

Grayson predicted he would draw attention to the 60 people who died from embassy attacks under the Bush administration, as well as questioning why there wasn't a select committee established to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

"Well, listen. If you're going to have a kangaroo court, you've got to have your kangaroos. And what better kangaroos than the NRCC?"

Yeah, four Americans dead, a Commander-in-Chief asleep at the switch. Get to the truth? Why the hell would anyone want to get to the truth?

“Following DeLauro’s proposal, liberal groups hatched another idea: send Grayson.”

A bit like sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern? The Republicans should want Grayson to talk as much as possible. This thing is a loser for the Dems, and this idiot just might draw attention to it.

I wonder if Alan thinks that 'ordinary' Americans were overly concerned about a 3rd rate burglary at the Watergate Hotel where no one died?

I don’t think the GOPers have any say about which RATs are on the committee.

A guy enters a Roman Catholic Church confessional booth.

He tells the priest, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. Last night, I beat the hell out of an Obama supporter.”

The priest says, “My son, I’m here to forgive your sins, not to discuss your community service

The guy is a lefty jerk and he knows it. If he wants to make a circus out of the hearings then let this fool be. He’s the worst kind of Democrat out there; a loudmouth, ignorant white liberal. He’ll get his lunch handed to him in due time, and that smirk will be taken off his face in a hurry.

Two thousand years ago, a Greek said that the party to a dispute who walked away corrected was the real winner.
The correct disputant gained nothing from the exchange.
This rectum-with-arms would have no idea what Aristotle meant, or care. I’m sick of libs, sickoflibs.

On the plus side, if they send this clown, Republicans can point to him and Hillary, and Obozo as the reason why there are no Benghazi prosecutions. Plus, anyone with one neurons still firing will wonder how the Dems could be so stupid as to send this POS to the committee.
